TYPES OF HONEY IN MY HOUSE

Neither Jeff nor I drink alcohol. But we eat it! This is delicious and will help me recreate "Secret Breakfast" flavored ice cream from Humphrey Slocombe in San Francisco.

Fir

This was a wedding present! Fir honey is rare and interesting - instead of from flowers, the bees drink honeydew left by aphids that feed on the sap of the tree. It is really smooth with a unique flavor. Recommended!

•

Cherry

The last time I was in Ann Arbor (May) was for my brother in law's phd defense. It may be the last time I'm there for a while so I decided to finally get something from Cherry Republic instead of just samples. And this is tasty!

Blueberry

Our honey seller (we are loyal to this one farm and get most of our honey by mail order) threw this in when we bought 4 pounds of black locust!

•

Truffle

This was an engagement present! Actually from the same friends who bought us the fir honey for the wedding. Very fitting. This is intense and a little odd. I'm not totally sure how to best use it!

An additional 2 pounds of black locust

Ok so I have an explanation, I mean beyond the fact that honey doesn't go bad. Black locust is our fav kind of honey. Black locust trees have a short flowering period and do not always produce honey well. Harvests are variable. The honey is popular and our supplier runs out usually and it can be a long time before the next batch is available. So we are stockpiling!
